A personal note from your Team USA scribe

As the sun sets over Arran and we get ready for the final day of championship racing here at Largs, I'd like to say it's been great fun being your faithful scribe this past week.  My grandfather was born just just to the east in Glasgow and we have family on Islay, in Fort William and outside Edinburgh so in a way this week has been like coming home.  While my 10 year old son Ian sails for Team USA, his Campbell Clan roots are deep.  

We are so proud of the terrific performance of our American sailors.  Each of you represented your country with commitment, passion and honor.  To Jack B, Jack T, Megan, Roger, Ravi, Nathaniel, Ben, Adele, Ian, Haddon and of course Jack and Parker, it has been super to spend the week with all of you - you're amazing sailors with bright futures, well done!   And Bryan and Luke, your leadership brought out the best in these sailors.  Kudos!  

To our UK hosts, thank you once again for a fabulous week in Scotland.  The conditions kept us on our toes, the competition has been tremendous and the hospitality always warm.

Looking at the score sheets, Friday's racing is sure to be to be a classic dogfight in both Senior and Junior Fleets.  Stay tuned and get ready to be on the edge of your seats for one more day of world class racing from some of the finest junior sailors around!

Thanks for sticking with us all week.  

Best, Blake
